Vino Es Vida

We had been contacting local vintners and growers lately looking for more gigs. We had been getting plenty of compliments and positive responses, but the obvious and overwhelming issue on everybody's mind was the moratorium on events at vineyards in the Lodi area being proposed by the San Joaquin Planning Commission. In short, the Commission feels that the astonishing success of events (weddings, art fairs, music) at local wineries and tasting rooms is in some way going to impact the production of grapes in the area. Heaven forbid we should turn into the economic wasteland that is Napa Valley.

So we did what we do, we wrote a song. Annette produced it in about ten minutes (whip in hand) and David Qualls of Dog House Studios was our go-to sound engineer and Audio Master. Wine is Life, Vino es Vida. Salud.
